 From Total Recall to Digital Dementia - Ars Electronica 2013.

By Armin Medosch.

Year by year Ars Electronica gets larger, greater and more successful. 
One visible sign of this success are the blinking lights of the ACE at 
night, like an upgraded spaceship out of 'Close Encounter of the Third 
Kind'.

1The festival now also has a venue, the former tobacco factory 'Die 
Tabakfabrik', that can cope with the rising numbers of visitors each 
year. Ars Electronica is a success story, no doubt about that. At the 
same time the Festival has developed a dynamics of its own, whereby the 
size of the program gives the impression that quantity comes before 
quality. The festival has defined as its primary objective to ignite a 
debate around art, technology and society,. But this debate often seems 
to be held in a quite one-sided way.
